This is a collage of all 9 of my grandchildren.
I began a tradition of making each of them their own heirloom blessing outfit.
I embroider the girls' initials on the back hem of their dress.
The idea is that each child will pass their gown (or outfit) down to their child, and their mother will embroider the baby's initials next to their own.
Wouldn't it be incredible to see a row of five initials, all embroidered next to each other.
That would be a true heirloom :)

I have my adorable little grandchildren on my mind all the time.
It sure is grand being a grandmother!
Each one has their own little personality, and I love each and every one of them more than they will ever know :)
As my friend Joni says, they are the "flowers in my garden".
Beautiful is the best word and much love is there. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Hugs, marie
